Cacheman didn't do much for me unfortunately...
Check out tweakxp.com They have a utility you can use to speed up your computer a bit. Although I have tried it, and mainly it just gives you lots of options to disable stuff that won't help performance much.
http://msfn.org/ is a good website too. They have tips and Tweaks there. They even have some utilities you can use.
Also, open your task manager and check for processes that are running with wierd names that make no sense at all, or processes that take up a lot of ram and have suspicious file names. It could be malware which is hogging some of your memory. Often a malware process will run without the user even knowing, and it will open other malware files which will do shit to your computer and open pop ups, things like that. You can search for ways to remove them on google.
If you find a suspicious file, go to your windows folder and open the System32 folder. Find the suspicious file and delete it. (I'm not kidding)
If it is an important system file, windows will automatically restore it in about 5 seconds with no harm done. If it doesn't reappear, then it wasn't an important file, and you are safe.
A good idea would be to download Spyware Search and Destroy and Adware to get rid of spyware.
I'd post more detailed info, but there is no need. I'm sure you can handle it.
